The teen star may consider deferring her education for a year, according to a conversation with Explore Long Island. "I just wanted to make sure I got all the applications in," she said.

Cosgrove also spoke to Seventeen magazine about her college decision prior to knowing what schools she was accepted to, saying: "I'm chickening out last minute. I love New York, but I'm scared to move and leave LA. I do have friends here [in New York], but I'm not really close to a lot of people. I feel like it'd be a whole new life.

See! That's something that I can read and then have a smile on! Finally there's new about someone being smart with their life, not destroying it, posing naked somewhere and then crying about it (lol) etc, a 17 yr old that has already shown more maturity than most people with stories here. Good for Miranda and I truly hope she stays on that path.

My young son and I met her 3 years ago at a Virgin Megastore (now closed) signing. Even then she seemed like she had her head on straight unlike some celebuskanks I won't name here. Good luck, Miranda!
